The goal of {quincunx}
is to provide programmatic access to the Polygenic
Score (PGS) Catalog, an open resource for
polygenic scores and associated
metadata describing their development and respective assessment.
Browse the online documentation at maialab.org/quincunx to get started.
Install {quincunx}
from CRAN:
# Install from CRAN install.packages("quincunx")
You can instead install the development version of {quincunx}
by setting
Ramiro Magno’s universe repository:
options(repos = c(ramiromagno = 'https://ramiromagno.r-universe.dev', CRAN = 'https://cloud.r-project.org')) install.packages('quincunx')
{quincunx}
was published in Bioinformatics in 2021: https://doi.org/10.1093/bioinformatics/btab522.
To generate a citation for this publication from within R:

Also, please do not forget to cite the authors behind the original studies and the papers associated with the PGS Catalog project:
Please note that if you use the data provided by the PGS Catalog either directly
or via {quincunx}
you agree to abide to the EMBL-EBI Terms of
Use.
Please note that the {quincunx
} project is released with a Contributor Code
of Conduct. By contributing
to this project, you agree to abide by its terms.
This work would have not been possible without the precious feedback from the PGS Catalog team, particularly Samuel Lambert and Laurent Gil.
The package name {quincunx}
is another name for Galton
Board, that so nicely exemplifies
the Central Limit
Theorem, which in turn is
a key concept of genetics, namely, Fisher’s infinitesimal
model... which leads us to Polygenic
Scores, the key concept of the PGS Catalog.
The bird in the hex sticker is a Porphyrio porphyrio, an emblematic species native to the Ria Formosa Natural Park, which is a wildlife reserve surrounding the University of Algarve, where the authors are affiliated.
